*The Invisibility Bargain* seeks to understand how migrants negotiate their
place in receiving societies and adapt innovative strategies to integrate,
participate, and access protection. Specifically, the book examines
Ecuador, the largest recipient of refugees in Latin America, and assesses
how it achieved migrant human security gains despite weak state presence in
peripheral areas. It argues that localities with more dense networks
composed of more diverse actors tend to produce greater human security for
migrants and their neighbors. The book challenges the conventional
understanding of migration and security, providing a new approach to the
negotiation of authority between state and society. By examining the
informal pathways to human security, Pugh dismantles the false dichotomy
between international and national politics, and exposes the micro politics
of institutional innovation.  *The Invisibility Bargain* is the winner of
the Arthur P. Whitaker Prize for best book in the past two years, awarded
by the Middle Atlantic Council of Latin American Studies (MACLAS).
